(??X Says Plan jftf^orld Court upholds League ij^rts Root Has Helped Confound Harding by Using His Substitute as a Part of Its Workings fours Waho and Utah Declares He Is Fighting game Crowd That Op? posed Roosevelt in 1912 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 15.? ouia for an International court under ??ague of Nations, as reported ,rojn Paris, were advanced by Gover ,r Cox in his Utah campaign to-day tn argument for the league. They j-jther confound Senator Harding and tier Republican opponents, the Dem? ocratic Presidential candidate declared ;, addresses here to-night in the great Mormon Tabernacle, and earlier to-day tiOgden. Reiterating that the Republican leifne critics had failed to offer any substitute and had expected that Elihu Boot would bring forth a new plan, Governor Cox made the following statement on the reported court out? line: ?a "To-day we learn that the commis? sion, of which Mr. Root is a member, ?as made its report', establishing a world court for the adjudication of (jaistions according to rules of law. We find, however, that this court is a ?alt of the league covenant, that Mr. Root and his colleagues were appoint? ed by the council of the league; that they made their report to the council of the league, and this report is now to be submitted to the various mem? bers of the league. Will Be Paid h(y League "Furthermore, it appears that the judges of the court are to be chosen by the council and the assembly of the league and their ?salaries are to be paid by the league. "It is apparent, therefore, that this court of international justice, which Mr. Harding hoped would be a substi? tute for the League of Nations, nov, appears as an essential part of the league and one which without the lesgue would have no standing what? ever. "This limb having been cut off, Mr Harding sitting on the end, we ma> confidently look forward to anothei frantic effort from Marion in an at? tempt to confuso the public and tc keep both Senator Johnson?who is leainst any kind of a league?ano Elihu P,oot?who is not only for the lttgue, but has performed valiant serv? ice? for the existing league?for the party candidate."

H< delivered five, beginning early thi: morning at Pocatelle, Idaho, with late, ?adresses at Logan and Brigham, Utah en.route to Ogden and Salt Lake City "Progress and peace," were the principal Utah F'reaclinients of th.

"Our two-party system has lasted long?r in the United States than any other political system now cxjstent under any constitutional government. It is being adopted in the United King? dom. Independent movements, unless based upon some great cause, result in the many-party systems of Continental Europe, and these, in their turn, mean one party in controlar a brief period, while the opposite parties join in 'blocs,' as they arc called, not by agree? ing to a constructive program, but merely by agreeing to destroy t?e min? istry and party in power. Because of this, political life becomes merely de? structive, and little progress is made upon constructive policies. "Our two-party system has brought progress and prosperity to America, and the party not in power has always proved capable of gaining influence to check recklessness or willfulness of the party having control. ?\ppeal to New Voters "I believe, therefore, that we will want to say first to all new voters: " 'Join one of the two great parties.' "We must point out especially to women voters that our own party of? fers to them the best hone of measures of social justice, aimed at preservation of our human resources and of the American home. "The Republicnns are committed to a policy ?of solving housing problems and encouraging home owning. The platform of our op? ponents fails to consider the subject. We have declared specifically for a long list of social justice and social wel? fare measures, unmentione,d by the Democratic platform. We stand now, as the Republican party stood before the granting of suffrage, for partici? pation of all our citizenship in the for? mation of the people's free will. "It. is needless to point to the fact that Democratic voter, in our Conpress nnd Democratic Governors and Demo? cratic legislatures of Democratic states have boon the. forces of obstruction which have prevented earlier action upon the universal grant of suffrage. "We have no desire to claim that the Democratic party nor even the one- ; man domination of it, which now seeks : to perpetuate its war-power govern- j ment, stands for war. But we do claim that the bungling at Paris and the unfortunate tangle created in negotia? tions looking toward an association of nations is squarely upon the shoulders of our opponents. Workable I.easue Plan "American women will realize with us that the work of building an asso? ciation of nations which will prevent war must be undertaken again by those who are most capable of creating a workable plan and committed to that policy. They realize with us that America, in the exercise of her obliga? tions to the world, must be guided by her own conscience and not by mort? gaging that conscience to debtor na? tions. "American women must realize that the League of Nations as presented by :%? Democratic Administration would not mean peace for us, but would mean American boys living in army tents overseas and asked to'die in cans?es in which they would have no heart. Such a league as the Americsin people have rejected would mean mandates under? taken in faraway placfs. "Such a league as has been devised by bungling hands would not mean peace and amity with the world,, but entanglements, stress and the return of the bodies of our men who had been called across the ocean on ?strange, un American errands.

Dr. Hillis Says Harding's Americanism Wins Public Brooklyn Divine, After Confer? ence With Candidate, Explains Ebb From Party in Potcer MARION, Ohio, Sept. 15?The Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, conferred with Senator Harding to-dav and later gave" out a statement, in which he said that "possibly one reason why the tide is ebbing away from the party in power" is because "the people think that Gov? ernor Cox illustrates the law of arith? metical progression. Beginning with the charge that the Republicans were spending $8,000,000 in buying the Pres? idency, he jumped to $15,000,000, and yesterday to $30,000,000, and soon prob? ably, in the spirit of progression, will have the Republicans spending the total annual income of the nation as a corrupt fund, and the next week he will have us borrowing money from Germany. Sidney Smith once said con? cerning certa-in fables that a supersti? tion was dead whenever 'the people bcjrin to laugh at it.' "Why is the tide running so strongly toward Senator Harding? The serious note in the Senator's thinking, the atmosphere of self-restraint, the serenity of a man conscious of his re? serves, his generous judgments of those who' differ with him, the total absence of any bitterness in any word of any speech, his spirit of kindness, his good will, his big broad American? ism, his constant use of the words, 'back to the Constitution,' the way in which he restrains his friends with tho words, 'remember that this is n government of law and not of men,' th?; earnestness with which he uttered these words this morning: 'My pri? mary purpose, in these speeches is the buildinp of American manhood and the strengthening of American institu? tions; my secondary ambition is to be President of the United States, but I would a thousand times rather lose the Presidency and be .conscious that I have done something for American manhood and American institutions than gain the Presidency through any word or deed that might weaken faith iit home or abroad in our free institu? tions, or injure tho quality of Amer can manhood--all that has convinced the American people that at last there is a man that is equal to and in a sense bigger than any office whatso? ever." Finds Primary on Square Deputy County Clerk Wechsler Satisfied Count Was Fair Ralph V. Wechsler, Deputy County Clerk, who was an independent candi? date in the primaries for a Supreme Court nomination, extended his con? gratulations yesterday to the success? ful candidates, and expressed his en? tire satisfaction with the fairness of tho count. Mr. Wechsler, before the election, offered a reward of $1.000 for information leading to the conviction of any person violating the election laws. "While the Republicans have not nominated me," said Mr. Wechsler, "I feel grateful to the 17,000 citizens who gave me their votes. It is gralfying to know that a square deal has been given to the independent candidates." Harding Beaten by^ Policeman In Backyard Horseshoe Contest "You'd Better Go Back to Golf," Comments Senator's Wife as Opponent's "Ringer" Wins Hard-Fought Battle From a Staff Correspondent MAttlON, Ohio, Sept. 15.?Police? man Roy Chapman *t!r tall and thin. For nineteen years he has been a guardian of the peace of Marion and a fellow townsman of Warren G. Harding. So there really is no good reason wh/ these two shouldn't pitch a game of horseshoes without attracting more attention than a dog fight in Main Street. But, anyway, it was a large crowd that gathered in the rear of the Harding yard this morning. When the Hardings returned in triumph to Marion aftc the Chicago convention a yellow sentry box,, the size and shape of a switchman's shanty was placed in tifa rear of the Harding home, in the roadway that divides the yards and gardens of the houses facing Mount Vernon Avenue from those looking out on the now less popular Church Street. Policeman Chapman, his coat un? buttoned, a half eaten, half-ripe apple from a tree in the Harding yard in his hand and his 1 ->ng blue-clad leg? twined about the fore_ legs of his wire-re?nforced chair, was tilted back against the side of his shanty shelter this morning when Senator and Mrs. Harding strolled back there to teBt the ripeness of the Seckel pears that bend the boughs o* a neighbor's tree. Senator Seeks the Chamnion A quartet of big rusty horseshoes that the most amateurish Sherlock Holmes could tell once fitted the hoofs of some Percheron horse were "ringed" about a stake in the dusty road a few feet from the door of Chapman's "office." A similar stake stood upright in the road or alley some forty feet distant. "Who is the champion horseshoe pitcher around here?" asked Senator Harding, addressing Mrs. Harding and very pointedly keeping his eyes away from the shanty. "Were you speaking to me, Warren Harding?" queried Chapman, bringing all four legs of his chair to the ground and uncoiling his own. "Because if you were I just want to say that when I used to have practice I was a pretty hard fellow to beat, and you know it. I pitched a couple of good gi'.mes the other day, but I ain't really had my heart in it since we had to stop pitch? ing for beer, though I think prohibi? tion is a good thing for the most." "Maybe, Chap," said Senator Hard? ing, "you think you could pitch these shoes with a greater degree of aeouracy than the Republican candidate." "I know I could," said "Chap" and. stooping, he lifted a shoe in each hand Nominee Succumbs to Lure They glanced at Mrs. Harding. She was examining a rose bush afflicted with a famiiy of cutworms. The nom: nee took off his coat (ho. wore no vest I and hung it over the back of Chap? man's chair. He rolled up tho sleeves of his shirt and picked up the othei pair of shoes, moving them gently ur and down to feel their weight. "Twenty for one game," said Chap? man, "five for ringers, three for lean ers and one for the nearest shoe tc the pin. Two if both shoes are near? est." "Toss a shoe, toss a shoe." com plained the Senator. "I studied thi? trame over in Caledonia, when vou wer? being rocked to sleep in a barrel-stave hammock." Chapman contorted his face, a lump disappeared from his left cheek and in an instant was raised on his right. With his quid shifted, Chapman placed one foot against the pin and tossed a shoe. It fell two feet from the far pin and bounced half a foot nearer. He threw another and it dropped with a clank on its mate. Senator Harding took Chapman's place. He stretched out his arm and squinted at the distant pin through the frame made by the prongs of the borseshoe. Then he tossed, and the unfinished circlet of rusted steel soared through the air and landed flat about three inches nearer the pin than his opponent's. The next shoe struck on end and rolled into the hedge at the roadside. Senator Wins First Blood "That's ohe for me, Chap," gloated the Senator. "Listen, Warren Harding," replied the policeman. "You kin talk me down in an argyment about the League of Nations or the rights of men to strike, but I kin lick you pitching horseshoes. This' gamo ain't won yet?by you, any? way." Point by point they contested and the Senator lost one pitch when he glanced up and saw Mrs. Harding had removed his coat from the chair where he had laid it and w,as watching every throw. And a moment later he discov? ered that his "gallery" had been aug? mented by every newspaper correspond? ent in Marion, a movie camera man, a few dogs and half a dozen boys of the neighborhood, who r.ppiirently have failed to realize in the excitement of a front porch campaign that summer va? cation has ended? and school session is resumed. With the score IL' to 14, favoring Po? liceman Chapman. Senator Harding tossed a leaner and "brought it to 15 to 14. Chapman disposed of his old quid and replaced it with a fresh cud of eating tobacco. His opponent was making a stogie disappear without the aid of Are. Policeman's "Ringer" Wins Then Chapman won two singles, and the Senator followed by laying both of his shoes closer to the pin than cither of Chapman's. The score was tied?in to 1?;. It was the Senator's turn. He wiped his moist hand an the suYit of his trousers, and, aiming care? fully, hurled the heavy horseshoe. It struck the pin and remained, a "lean er." His. other shoe struck a foo away and the candidate endeavored tt appear only moderately pleased. Then Chapman tossed. There was ? ringing clank. The Senator's leane: had been knocked from the pin ani Chapman's shoe remained a ringer circling the pin. "Come on in to luncheon, Warrei Harding," said Mrs. Harding. "Yoi had better go back to playing golf. "I'll be in to luncheon in a minute, replied Senator H?rding. Then t Chapman: "1 haven't tossed horse shoes in a long time, but. as f recall it ;.ou didn't have your foot against th pin ?.is that last throw. We'll try i again and I'll prove that your 'rin'gei was a fluke." The Senator put on, his coat, jabbin his arms through the sleeves with bit of unnecessary firmness. "Any time, any time at all," sai Chapman, and disappeared in th shanty to give headquarters a 12 o'cloc telephone assurance that no crank nor bums, nor other un?faNkirab!es ha endeavored to invade the Hardin pre mis es. U. S. Building Engineers To Vote on Strike To-day Engineer's employed in Federal build? ings in this city, including postoffices, will vote to-day on the question of making the present engineers' strike in such buildings general. As the matter stands now, 103 chief engineers are at work and fifty-seven engineers who had their pay raised to $7 a day have returned to work. "The original proposition for the settlement of the strike." said William T. Polland, secretary of Union 670 of the International Union of Steam and Operating Engineers, "was th;it the men accept the Macy award and return to work pending action on their de? mands by Congress in December. The men will vote to-morrow for a general tie-up' if they receive an unfavorable report from the delegate sent to Washington.

New Hampshire League Cured9 Moses Declares Senator Says Republicans Will Vote 95 Per Cent for Him in November and Solidly for Harding Wadsworth Victory Seen Poindexter Asserts Sena? torial Committee Will Work for His Election United States Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, who was re nominated by the Republicans of his state by a heavy majority last week after a spirited primary battle, said yesterday at Republican National Com? mittee headquarters that New Hamp? shire was "dischareed, cured of the Wilson League of Nations," and that there was no doubt about a Republi? can triumph in that state in November. In regard to the suggestions in Dem? ocratic newspapers that the anti-Moses vote polled by his opponent in the primaries, Mr. Snalding. might be thrown to his Democratic opponent, Mr. Stevens, in the November election, Senator Moses said: "That is not the way New JHamp shire Republicans are built. They will vote 95 per cent for me in Novem? ber and solidly for Harding and Cool idge. I do not regard my success in the primaries as personal to myself but as an indication of the New Eng? land and American opinion in fayoi of the maintenance of a free and in .dependent United States ?hrou^h th( selection of Senators and (Repr?senta tives who ?re neither rubber stamp; nor rainbow chasers." Moses on Way to Washington ? Senator Moses is on his wav to Washington, where he will stay a few ! days before ent?rine; the campaign as a speaker. The national committee has assigned him to work in New Jer? sey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Indiana. Senator Miles Poindexter, chairman of the Senatorial committee of the na? tional committee, commenting yester? day on the victory of Senator Wads worth, said: ."The nomination of Senator Wads worth as Republican candidate for Senator from New York is the subject of hearty congratulation among his associates in the Senate. The Er publican Senatorial Committee is deeply interested in his reelection and wislies to cooperate in every way po:s sible with the local organization to bring about that result. Senator Wud? worth in a brief space of time has at tained a high position in the Senate and his chairmanship of the great Committee, on Military Affairs gives a prestige and influence to the State of New York which it would be long in attaining otherwise. Wadsworth's Election Called Sure "There is ro mor? indefatigable or efficient Senator than Senator Wads worth. He is industrious in his work a clear and direct thinker and ener? getic in carrying to a successful co:s ciusion legislation in which he and his state are interested. We feel that hi:< election is assured, but it would be a. great mistake to be overconfident and consequently negligent of the nec? essary organization and other cam? paign work of his committee." U. S. Commission Acts To Stop Cable Combine WASHINGTON, Sept. 15,?American commissioners to the International Com? munications Confcrcnc hue next month held their first meeting to-day at the State Department. They began a study of the cable situation with a view to preventing a threatened monopoly of cables by other nations. Officials said that the British monop oly on the esst coast of South America made it imperative that America devise measures to prevent an extension of that monopoly, and to consider means of meeting similar adverse conditions else? where. The State Department recently re? fused to let the Western Union Com? pany land a cable at Miami connecting with the British cable from South Amer? ica because officials desired* to determine whether the proposed line would strengthen the British monopoly. It is estimated that Great Britain exercises control over more than 150,000 miles of cables, or moro than the com? bined total of all other nations. The United States has control of only slight? ly more than 50,000 miles. Of greater significance, however, according to offi? cials, is the fact that the United States obtains direct information, free from censorship or control of other nations from only the east coast of South America, and to a limited extent from the Far East. It is to remedy this situation and to arrive, if possible, at arrangements whereby cable messages in times of peace may be as free from control and censorship as mail matter, officials said to-day, that American representatives to the conference are directing their ef? forts. Albania Asks Wilson to Check Serbian Invasion Lloyd George and Millerand Also Urged to Hah Peril to Balkan Peace WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.- President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand have been asked by the Al? banian government to take steps to compel Serbia to withdraw its troops from Albanian territory, C. A. Chek rezi, Albanian commissioner to the United States, announced to-day. Com? munications to this effect have been sent, he said, by M. Konitza, Albanian Foreign Minister, now in Paris. These requests were made, Mr. Chek rczi said, because the Albanian-Serbia:! conflict "has been lately assuming alarming proportion?, that might en? danger the peace of the Balkans." Th? text of the communication to Presi? dent Wilson follows: "We are informed hy our govern? ment that the Serbians, pushing their invasion from north and east, have reached the region of Mati, half way between the Albanian frontier and the coast, passing thus far beyond the limits fixed by themselves in 1918, the so-called line of demarcation, and have destroyed about forty villages. The Albanians have repulsed these invad? ers, but, being exhausted and weak in numbers, are unable to resist in? definitely the millions of Jugo-Slavs who are seemingly determined to de? stroy our nation. I implore your ex? cellency to take immediate steps in order to secure the withdrawal of the Serbians from Albania and save our nation from destruction; otherwise gravest consequences will * follow throughout the Balkans."
